The image depicts four padlocks affixed to a rusty, multi-stranded metal cable spanning horizontally over one of the central lakes (Søerne) in Copenhagen, Denmark, likely from a bridge railing such as Dronning Louises Bro. In the foreground, from left to right, a vertical wooden post partially obscures the first padlock, which is silver-toned and rectangular. Adjacent to it, two rectangular brass-colored padlocks are heavily rusted and attached to the cable. The fourth padlock, furthest right, is red, heart-shaped, and also attached to the cable, featuring a visible keyhole. The cable itself exhibits extensive corrosion. The background shows a calm, dark body of water under an overcast grey sky. Both shores are lined with trees displaying a mix of green and yellow autumn foliage. A small wooden dock is visible on the left bank, and a distant, light-colored building is discernible above the treeline on the right bank. No individuals or specific actions are depicted in the scene.
